I need a Physical Design for a New Toilet

Tóm tắt cuộc thi

We are developing a medical evaluation toilet. We have working prototypes made from existing toilets, but we want our final product to be unique, stylish and immediately recognizable as our brand. We want it to be something that people will be proud to have in their homes.

We are leaving this design project wide open to encourage creativity. Come up with a concept design for a new modern, hi-tech toilet. The only major requirement is that it fit in an existing toilet's footprint. We do plan on having a wall-mounted version, and a urinal, but focus most of the energy on a standard floor mount toilet. Feel free to show how the other styles of toilets would match the brand.

Be creative. It does need to function like a normal toilet though. (Gravity fed water tank, trap way, etc.) If we like what we see, we want to continue the relationship and go back and forth with more of our design requirements and how to make it all work together.

Hi, I sent you today (June 13th, 2015) my last entry. It's just a sketch and if you need a photorealistic view/s, please don't hesitate to ask and I'll provide you with them. Also, let me know if you want changes made, your feedback will definitely help. I can also design/research it further and help you through the manufacturing process.Thank you

Are you guys interested in modern minimal style toilets which you see in expensive renovations or japanese style high tech with the seat warmer, water shooting up to clean your ..... style?

Sorry for the slow response. We are not specifically looking for anything. Our final product may incorporate some of the options mentioned, but for now we just are exploring what we want it to look like. If I had to give an answer though, I would say we are leaning more towards the modern expensive toilet

What are the required features, comparing with standard toilets? I mean, usually "medical evaluation"is a standart toilet + add-on elevated seat with armrests + control in the front side. You expect similar modularity?

No. We have the design for the "Medical Evaluation" part already working. We are just looking for the right look for a toilet. It will not have add-on anything. Everything will be built in... but don't worry about building it in. We will do that. We just want to find the right "look" for our toilet that will be our own. We want people to see the toilet and know its one of ours.

Don't worry about extra features... its the design we are worried about. We will have a small sensor on the inside of the bowl (pretty much un-noticeable) No extra controls. It will be smart device controlled. So basically, make it as if it is not different from other toilets. We are just searching for the "look" we want for our toilet.

We are mostly concerned with the basic look of the toilet right now... But a Standard elongated toilet has dimensions close to this: Overall height 30 3/8", Overall length 30 1/8 ", height to rim 16.5", width of bowl 14", width of tank 17 3/8", length of bowl 18.5", etc... I found these just doing a quick google image search for standard elongated toilet dimensions... Don't get too caught up with the exact measurements, if we like the design we will figure out how to make it work. Be creative.

We want it to fit within the standard American toilet footprint. Basically the drain will be 12" away from the back wall and it needs to fit in a minimum space of 30" across. We are much more concerned with the look than making sure the dimensions are perfect at this point. We have lots of expertise internally to figure that all out later if needed.

We want it designed for everyone. We want everyone to have access to their health data and make informed decisions. So although at first many of the toilets will be in hospitals/doctors offices etc, we want the design to be for a healthy person at home.
